Motors & Cities
Downtown Detroit. It had become a particularly unsafe place to be. This was their first of just two times at the venerated hard rock arena. For a
...
couple decades only set two circ'd (originally only the FM broadcast portion). The full first set set wasn't available until the OFF release. So, a pretty obscure show for a long time, known on show bases for the return of Good Lovin'. For late '76 it isn't a top ten or anything, but it's still a fun show and the second set has a must-hear sequence. Objectively though, since many will find the AUD unlistenable, and because of the lack of Bobby's guitar and poor mix on the SBD, this is probably going to remain a second-tier show. First Set. Bertha is a bit rickety, and they are cold by Mama Tried. Sugaree is the warm up. Minglewood is Phil-centric; nicely so. Bobby & Keith both go missing on Ramble on Rose, then there's a break to replace speakers. Looks Like Rain ups the ante just in time. Unfortunately that doesn't carry over for the flat, downtempo Loser. El Paso is the basic reading, but with stuttering (not pleasantly) rhythm. Things warm up again during Scarlet Begonias, which has a very slowly-building jam, blowing wide for the last 2mins. That sets up for the peak at Music Never Stopped. Not in the top ten for the year – but that means nothing in '76! Note that when they break into the Mind Left Body Jam @4mins, they drop-in in a second (having done this already three times on this tour). Players know that what matters is leaving 'em wanting more at the break. Second Set. Samson & Delilah is fine, but be forewarned that this set often loses Bobby's guitar on all sources, with Keith turned up. Musta Been Roses is played platinum but sans fireworks. Now they are ready for an X factor Playing; a top 3 for the year (there are only 15). The first couple secs are missing (but present on the AUD). The OFF substitutes 9/24 for the intro, and @9:40 it has a cross-fade into Drums, missing 4min25secs. This section is patched on s2_sbd_miller, but the levels are better on the AUD. The OFF is also missing the first 1min47secs of Drums (the miller SBD has 22secs more, the AUD is complete). This is an odd, trad Zep/Deep Purple/Cream-style Drums. What did you expect at Cobo? Next is the sequence you came for. At 6min20secs in The Wheel a unique jam starts. Keith sets a rhythm, and near the end there's a slight Dancing tease from the drummers. Bobby tests it for a second but Jer pulls it all to Good Lovin', which eventually catches. This is the first GL since 10/74 [which itself was the 1st since E72]. It soon taps right back into the jam that has been going on without them – they are just riding that zone. This is a crystalline Comes a Time, with a surprising, quiet, end jam/seg. Even if I don't hear it, I really click with Serpentine's comment, "The split second pause before the group collectively starts Comes a Time is the essence of Grateful Dead magic distilled into a tiny moment of silence." The Playing>Comes a Time sequence is 46mins, so you get plenty of top Dead in this set. They gotta play Dancing in the Street since it's a Mo Town song [city statute #3857b-6a]. They don't find the terrain they find on, say, 9/8 or 10/10 (on the OFF, 0:44>1:32 is from 9/25). Not Fade Away is mostly vamping until 6mins. After 10mins there's a China Cat tease from Bobby; Keith is the only one to play off of him (remember, China Cat was gone from Oct74>Dec77). The end seg is interesting: when things fall off, Phil takes over, and when Bobby plays his A7|2nd inversion chord for Dancing, Phil jumps right on it for the Phil-centric reprise (a must-hear-once). Around & Around finishes, with no encore. 1st Set: C 2nd Set: B+ Overall = 3½ stars Highlights: The Music Never Stopped – took the whole set to get there, but then you get a MLB Playing in the Band – candidate for best-of-year The Wheel>Good Lovin'>Comes a Time – packed sequence SOURCES: The weiner_19415 is the original AUD (handheld mics, runs slow in places). The fmsbd_jerugim_248 isn't the actual FM version. It substitutes the Dancing from 10/10/76. The cotsman_12832 SBD is actually a composite of the poor AUD and the SBD version with the substituted Dancing. The 121945_s2_sbd_miller is a higher quality source for the second set, with the correct Dancing. 30 Trips has most of the show except for edited versions of Playing, Drums, and Dancing. It has none of the tunings, with tracks almost fading into each other. Scarlet Begonias is on Definitive Live.

Lucky enough to have the 30 Trips CDs
This show just kicks butt. CMSB of half a show is better than nothing, and the 2nd set is just magisterial.

Get up and dance it won't ruin you..
Good Lovin, Dancin, NFA lots of 1970's dead here. Sound pretty good with a few dips The PITB is very spacey. a point of departure for the set.
